UNITED- STATES CLAUDE L. wILs'oN, or'aonivs'oiv CITY, NEW YoRK.

To all whom it I new eon RUBBER SOILES.

Application filed July 1,

may] concern Be it known that I, CLAUDE L. WILsoN, a

citizen of the Johnson City,

United States. residing at in the county of Broome and State: of New York have invented certain new and useful Rubber Soles, o

specification.

My invention Improvements in Molds f'or f which the following is a relates to improvements in molds for the manufacture of soles of rubber or other like material for use on shoes or other footwear, and has for its object to provide a. means for securely, adjustably and r'emovably mounting the molds 011 the mounting plates for molding the soles.

lVith these objects in view my invention consists in certain novel features of construction and arrangement of parts as are hereinafter more parti ed out in the claims,

cularly described and pointreference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, in which:

In carrying out my invention, I have the usual mold holding plate A, I have the parallel A; mounted on beveled rails plate B, B which are secured to the plate A by means of the riy *ets 2, 2 or screws or in any other convement manner;

as a further part of the device I have the mold forms C, C, (l

for molding the soles in and having ther the usual manner, ein the matrices 3, 3; 1n the bottom of the mold bodies 0, C, I have the parallel beveled longitudinal grooves 4:, 4 adapted to slidably receive and be mounted on the beveled rails, B I have the pin holes 5 pins 6, 6 and 6, 6

mg spacing pins may be of B; in the rails B, B, 5 and 5 5 for receivthe spacing the same diameter throughout their length as shown in Fig. 5 or pointed as shown in Fig. The pins (3, 6

6 or maybe screw threaded. re adapted to be removably mounted in the rails as before described and hold spaced apa in Figs. 1 and rt the molds C, C as shown 2; mounted in the end of mold or molds C openings along the 1924. Serial No. 723,459.

pin opening 5 to permit of spacing pins for holding a single In the operation of my device, in the usual arrangement of the molds upon plate A, I first mount thereon C by having the beveled channels in mold C engage the beveled rails B, B, and slide the mold C along the rails until it reaches a position shown in Fig. 1; I then place in the pin openings 5 and 5 the pins 6, 6 adjacent to the mold C holding it in firm position against a sliding movement along the rails .13, B; I then follow C with a double mold C, moving it along the rails B, B until it reaches a posi tion adjacent to the pins 6, 6 mentioned, and then mount another set of pins 6, 6 in the openings 5, 5 adjacent to mold C holding it in firm position on the rails, and so on with the additional molds C, C until the plate A has mounted upon it the full quota of molds desired. Then by taking hold of handle D, I move plate A to its position within the molding press. A different arrangement of the. molds can be made by changing the position of the pins 6, 6 in the rails B, B. When the moldmg process is completed, by taking the draw handle D, for

or. arrangement of the a double mold I have hold of handle D, I withdraw the plate of molds, and by removing pins 6, 6 take off the molds and refill plate A with new molds, and place it again in the molding press as before described.

Having thus described by invention, what I claim as new and for which I desire Letters Patent is as follows: 1. In a mold for rubber soles, a mounting plate, a plurality of molds mounted thereon, removable means for spacing the molds apart on the plate, means for holding the molds slidably mounted on the apart and positioned on the plate, a removable handle mounted on the end of the plate.

2. In a moldfor rubber soles, a mold holdplate, spaced surface of the molds,

.ing plate, two parallel rails longitudinally mounted on the plate surface, a plurality of mold bodies, and means for slidably mounting the mold bodies on the rails, and for holding the molds thereon spaced apart, means for removing the molds from the plate, a handle removably mounted on the plate. r

3. In a mold for rubber soles, a holding plate, two parallel rails the top surfaces of which are broader than the bottom surfaces,

longitudinally mounted on the plate surface, a plurality of molds having two parallel beveled longitudinal recesses in the bottom adapted to slidably engage the rails, openings spaced apart'in the rails, for removably mounting spacing pins therein adj aoent to the molds, a handle removably mounted in the plate.

4. In a mold for rubber soles, a holding plate,two parallel. beveled rails, having top surfaces broader than the bottom surfaces, longitudinally mounted on the plate, one or more mold bodies having parallel beveled recesses in the bottom surfaces thereof. adapted to slidably receive the rail ends and be removably and slidably positioned spaced apart on the rails, removable means for holding the molds spaced apart on the rails, a

removable handle mounted on the plate.

In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature.

CLAUDE L. WILSON.
